The convenience of this property is its main advantage. A short walk to the beach and shops but also quiet (apart from the seagulls!). There is a great pub next door. The outdoor space is also a plus. There is a large, modern bathroom. Very well restored. A lovely big table for eating indoors, comfortable sofas. The second bedroom however is a little small for adults (ideal for children) but we managed!

We love it. Southwold is a great place to stay and we would like to come back again! Shrimpers is a cosy little retreat right in the heart of Southwold, close to all the amenities and attractions. It was very comfortable and well kitted out.

Ideal stay in Southwold again beautiful January weather. Perfect cottage in the heart of the town very handy for everything very nicely furnished and equipped. Have stayed in many houses, some expensive and this is the first to provide a radio.

We were very pleased and impressed with the overall service you offer, great telephone manner, very helpful and responsive. We particularly appreciated being able to access before 4pm and would be prepared to pay a premium to do that. The cottage was comfortable, warm and well equipped. We thought the kitchen would have benefited from a small dishwasher as we do not really like washing up - even though we only had tea coffee at breakfast!

Everything about the holiday was ideal. Booking, payment, check in/out straightforward. Helpful and friendly staff.Shrimpers is a cosy traditional cottage tastefully decorated and comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom are modern but in keeping and well equipped. The position is ideal being only minutes from the beach, shops and pubs. The lighthouse is pretty much in the back garden and is a lovely sight to wake up to.

Lovely cottage, with everything you need. Location was excellent. Ideal for getting to the beach and the shops. Also it was handy to have the Sole Bay pub so close as they did lovely evening meals and also nice for a night cap. The cottage was decorated nicely and very quaint. It had a lovely sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and the bedrooms were nice. If I would improve anything I would get the fire in the sitting room working. Heritage Hideaways had lovely staff and the present at the start of hols and note really made or day. Thank you so much.

Southwold Holiday Guide

Southwold in Suffolk is a delightful seaside town: its colourful beach huts, stylish shops and restaurants, lovely sandy beach, award-winning Pier and atmospheric harbour, not to mention Adnams Brewery, all add to its timeless appeal.

Southwold really does have everything you need for a traditional British holiday, and a stay in one of our holiday cottages in Southwold, provides the perfect base to enjoy its many attractions. Bring your bucket and spade for some genuine seaside fun, take a gentle stroll along the promenade, marvelling at the spectacular views of the town, beach huts and Lighthouse, or spend an afternoon in the Electric Picture Palace, Southwold’s delightful 68-seater cinema.

Adnams’ Sole Bay Brewery is at the heart of the town and you may smell the hops as you walk by. You can also book an Adnams Brewery Tour, sampling some of the ales and beers, or purchase your tipple of choice from Adnams Cellar and Kitchen Store on the high street.

The locally caught fish is outstanding and a walk along the Harbour with its characterful, ramshackle fishing huts is a ‘must’. Try The Sole Bay Fish Co and the newly opened Southwold Smokehouse or fish and chips from Mrs T's and sit on the harbour wall to eat them. You can buy your fresh fish here at the harbour – ask and they’ll keep it on ice for you if you want to continue your walk across the Bailey Bridge and along the River Blyth tow path the to pretty village of Walberswick. There are some lovely walks around this area, click here to find out more.

For the brave-hearted there is the Coastal Voyager for a speedy trip out to sea crash
